Christmas, Blocks, and Gucks!

Christmas was fantastic! We have a tree that Ben has enjoyed (especially the ornaments he's pulled off and tried to eat) and it's been nice to have a quiet time at home. Gifts for Ben have been trickling in from family and friends, and we've been giving them to him slowly, so that he wasn't overwhelmed on Christmas morning.

Here Ben is helping me open the package Coco and Papi sent about a week before Christmas... you can see the stocking Coco needlepointed for Ben!


After admiring Coco's work (for about one second), Ben tosses the stocking aside for what's underneath... presents! (We didn't open them until Christmas, though.)



Here's our Christmas tree on Christmas morning!



And here comes Ben! He loves the cardboard brick blocks that were a gift from Mom Mom!






Finally... Ben is working on his first word! It's "truck" which he currently pronounces as "guck." So we made sure that he had plenty of gucks on Christmas! I don't have any photos of them yet, but will post them as soon as I can.

Happy Holidays!
